Complaint against former top commie

The nationalist party Jobbik has filed a criminal complaint against the communist-era interior minister Béla Biszkú in a bid to have him tried under new laws abolishing the statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Biszkú, 91, held office in the years after the 1956 Uprising was crushed by Soviet Union military might. On Biszkú’s watch, dozens were executed for their role in what the communist dictators characterised as a “counter revolution”, among them its reluctant leader, reform communist Imre Nagy.
